What is a common adverse effect of Triptans?

Hypotension
Paresthesia (tingling, numbness)
Insomnia
Weight gain

The correct answer is: Paresthesia (tingling, numbness)

A common adverse effect of Triptans, a class of medications commonly used to treat migraines, is paresthesia (tingling, numbness). This sensation is often reported by individuals taking Triptans and is considered a benign side effect. The other options mentioned are not typically associated with Triptans. Hypotension (choice A) is not a common adverse effect of Triptans. Insomnia (choice C) is also not a typical adverse effect; in fact, Triptans are more likely to cause drowsiness in some individuals. Weight gain (choice D) is not a known side effect of Triptans and is not commonly reported with their use.
